I've had 2 problems with my KUDS24. A relay connection on the main control board blew off all its solder and the motor would no longer run. A few seconds with a soldering iron and it is better then new. Second issue wasn't a show stopper but it seemed to lack performance somehow. I pulled off...

A full power microwave would draw over 100 amps from an automobile electrical system. Not a likely scenerio

It is impressive longevity from a TV, especially a plasma. I am currently using a 12 year old Sony LCD which is going strong, but it overscans horribly with HDMI inputs and there are no scaling adjustments. It's a super well made TV, but it needs to go. I had a neighbor a number of years back...

I liked the quip of how computer operating systems are like cars. I wholeheartedly agree, because the next one is generally superior to all those that came before it. I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion in these forums.... The point of not convincing others of differing strongly held...

Years ago when my father was battling with high blood pressure and a restricted salt diet, home plumbing was bypassed to supply the cold side of the kitchen sink (and drinking water filter) with non-softened water. The area has it's water sourced from wells in a limestone aquifer and typical...

I don't have any complaint about the brightness or quality of the dash/instrument lighting of any modern car I have been in. There are some designed better than others of course but I find it all works. The BIG problem was when they decided to illuminate the dash anytime the car was running vs...

I second the Whirlpool dryer assuming it being a top lint filter model. Also the best electric dryers are the ones that have a gas burner in them, hopefully that is an option for you.

The first paragraph seems to sing the praises of the LG FL machine. The rest of the post bashes it. Which is it? Or am I missing something here??

Having a kerosene range in the kitchen would finally make a gas range seem as it it is an improvement in cooking technology.

I just upgraded four Win 7 computers to Win 10 due to a compatibility issue forced by an update to our CRM software. I just Googled the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and it went through easily and without cost. I have to say I do really dislike the look of the GUI of Win 10, but otherwise it is...

The Hobart one is WAY cooler! I always loved that handwheel on the side to alter the grind. It reminds me of the aftermarket handwheel we have on the quill of manual mill. So much better then a lever or spokes like on a drill press.

For sale on Facebook Marketplace in Minneapolis for $125. Luckily I don’t have the space or I’d have to buy it!

Chinese products trying to capture some of the panache of a legacy American brand. We have seen similar from RCA, Zenith, Crosley, Magnavox and others. Typically these products sell at big box retailers and they will have zero service after the same or parts availability. Buy em, hope they work...

I think the novels are in a different section!

Library's aren't just for books anymore. Neat concept! https://www.delish.com/food-news/a28831984/philadelphia-library-baking-pans-check-out/

Aren't tumble dryers awesome?

I've been using T-Mobile since 2 carriers before they were named T-Mobile and I have been personally very pleased, I wouldn't consider another carrier at this point. My plan has a 2gb monthly data cap, but as I have WiFi setup up most everywhere I spend any time I never come remotely close to...

Mark, you could run the hose to the outdoors or upstairs, if you are flushing under full pressure the added altitude is no matter. It is nice to observe the flow though to see if it is running clear. I sometimes stick the end of the hose into a quart Mason jar in the sink to better show the...

Year old washer has failed So what was the failure? Have you considered service?? Replacing a year old washer seems ludicrous to me. More information is really needed, like what model is it. Were you happy with it while it was working etc? Hard to make any recommendations based on so little to...

I never "drain" my water heater but I do flush it at least yearly. I turn mine to pilot only then do a couple loads of laundry to use up the hot water. Then I attach a short garden hose to the drain valve and affix the other end of the hose to the laundry tub. Open the drain valve full wide open...
